I obviously believe that medicine cures people and prayer does not. But none of you retards understood whozurdaddy's point. He's trolling YOU, and it's hilarious.

He is NOT claiming that prayer has healed anyone. He is simply asking for concrete evidence, and the OP was unable to provide any for HIS claim that prayer DOESN'T cure people. I challenge ANY of you to provide PROOF that medicine cures people. Finding absolute scientific proof is impossible by definition. Anyone who understands how science works knows this. Some people get better after being treated by medicine, and some die anyway. Same with prayer. The difference is that we (atheists) assume that prayer makes no difference and when the person gets better its a coincidence, and religious people believe the opposite. So give EVIDENCE that medicine helps. You can say that there are statistics that show that more people with x disease survive if subjected to x treatment. But every person is different, so you can't perform a perfect controlled experiment. And with the correlation studies, there is always a chance that your assumptions about causation are wrong, and even if the stats show that medicine PROBABLY works, there is always a chance, however small, that it was just a big coincidence. So someone, show me numbers, show me a p-value, or admit that this is your BELIEF and not a "proven fact"

Technically, a modern chimp is not part of human evolution. We didn't evolve from chimpanzees, BOTH evolved from a common ancestor. So a chimp skull doesn't belong there, unless its 4.5 million years old. I know its a technicality, but its the misconception that evolution is linear, which is probably why a lot of people don't think it makes sense.
